I have stopped from time to time and listened to them and they are definitely still on the air and using the same call letters. The programming is all in Spanish and is respectable now. There is music and talk shows in which people do exactly the same kinds of things you hear on AM radio, the world over. There are no more preachers in English selling pictures of Jesus where the eyes glow in the dark. Today, there is no hint of how things used to be. Occasionally, the announcer says that it is 50,000 watts, but it is just your basic Spanish-language radio station at 1570 KHZ.
